POWER and Grace! Open Water Swimming at the Dam Triathlon in Amesbury, MA

Don't sit too close to this screen!
You might get wet!

Come join me inside the pack
at the Dam Triathlon, in Amesbury MA.

The one-minute action film above starts as
the elite swimmers leap into the water!

I wait for them to pass...

...then I swim inside the pack
and shoot video and action photos
of the open water swimmers:

(Yes, I was swimming as I took these photos.

Didn't stop or slow my stroke.

After all--I was in a race!)  

After the 1/2-mile open water swim in Lake Gardner,

these triathletes go on to bike 13 miles

and run 5K...all on scenic New England roads.

Thanks, B&S Event Management 

for putting on this great race!

P.S.  As an open water swimmer I took photos from "inside the pack"--

and plan to post the best of these up-close action photos.

(But I did not take photos of ALL the athletes!  However,

Global Click Photography did:  click here to see them!)

See you at the next race!
